Watch the First Five Minutes of New Carine Roitfeld Doc Mademoiselle C

Since we're really impatient, Carine et al were nice enough to give us this exclusive clip of the film's first five minutes, which really sets up the entire film.
The only disappointing part: it really leaves us wanting more.

We've been hearing about a Carine Roitfeld documentary in dribs and drabs since before the first issue of her magazine, CR Fashion Book, even hit newsstands.
Fabien Constant is the man behind the camera--he previously filmed Roitfeld for a fantastic mini-doc for W magazine about the editor’s exploits during couture week--and he opened up about what we can expect from the film, and when we can expect to see it.

Despite the fact that her feathers and fur are purely ornamental, Carine Roitfeld serves as many fashion folk's spirit animal. Enigmatic, powerful, and usually swathed in Alaïa, the French fashion legend has long been everyone's ultimate everything.
Now Roitfeld shows you the inner scenes and seams of her life through a new documentary. Called Mademoiselle C, the film, which opens on September 11 in major cities across the US, shadows the smoky-eyed icon through two big events: the launch of her new magazine, CR Fashion Book, and the birth of her first granddaughter, Romy Nicole. (Also: she does a full split on camera. Take that, Betsey Johnson!)
I met Roitfeld across the street from Bloomingdales to discuss her latest project, and yes, I was shaking.
